The present invention encompasses engineered Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) vaccines or compositions. The vaccine or composition may be a recombinant vaccine. The invention also encompasses recombinant vectors encoding and expressing avian pathogen antigens, more specifically avian influenza proteins, epitopes or immunogens. Such vaccines or compositions can be used to protect animals, in particular avian, against disease.

There are provided antigens, vectors encoding the antigens, and antibodies and other binding compounds to the antigens and uses thereof in the prevention or treatment of malaria. In particular, compositions are provided comprising fragments of Reticulocyte-binding protein Homologue 5 (PfRH5). In particular, the invention provides fragments of PfRH5 rationally designed on the basis of the PfRH5 crystal structure, wherein said fragments which lack disordered regions, particularly the flexible N-terminal region and/or flexible central linker.

The present invention includes a composition including as one component a slurry matrix that is a liquid at room temperature and a gel at physiological pH, physiological salt concentrations and/or physiological temperatures and as a second component one or more antigens. Also include are methods of inducing an immune response in a subject and vaccinating a subject by administering such compositions.

The invention relates to compositions and methods for inducing a protective immune response against a poxvirus in a human neonate or infant of less than 6 months of age. The invention encompasses administering a single high dose of an MVA to a human neonate or infant of less than 6 months of age, wherein the administration induces protective T- and B-cell responses against a poxvirus in the human neonate or infant.

The disclosure relates to immunological compositions for vaccinating human beings against infection by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

The invention relates to the field of molecular medicine. In particular, it relates to compositions and methods to enhance the clearance of aberrant cells, e.g. cancer cells or virus-infected cells, by the host's immune system. Provided is a composition comprising (i) a therapeutic compound that can trigger a host's immune effector cells against an aberrant cell, such as a therapeutic antibody, and (ii) at least one agent capable of reducing or preventing inhibitory signal transduction initiated via SIRPalpha.

The present invention includes a composition including as one component a slurry matrix that is a liquid at room temperature and a gel at physiological pH, physiological salt concentrations and/or physiological temperatures and as a second component one or more antigens. Also include are methods of inducing an immune response in a subject and vaccinating a subject by administering such compositions.

Disclosed herein are self-replicating RNA molecules encoding prostate neoantigens, vaccines, and methods of treating and preventing prostate cancer.

The invention relates, in general, to synthetic chimeric poxviruses, compositions comprising such viruses, and the development and use of systems and methods for producing such synthetic chimeric poxviruses. The synthetic chimeric poxviruses are well suited for live virus vaccines and pharmaceutical formulations.
